Hi Ralph,
My total energy use for Oct 15, 2016 was 20 KWH for 24 hours. I don't think that would be possible in a sticks and bricks home. I don't think I could have 5 kw of solar panels on the roof. There simply is not enough room.
I'd love to have an affordable BEV motorhome.
I drive 78 kph (49 mph) in order to get an honest 11 MPG (us gallon).
Since July 1, 2018 until August 24, 2018 my total gasoline use has been 180 liters (47.55 us gallons).
I have a location in Altamonte Springs where I have opted for alternative energy sources. It does cost a bit more.

There are a lot of folks who are playing Ostrich. Climate change is real and our addition and addiction to energy use is causing changes which used to take 1000's of years in tens of years.
I'm glad I do not have grand children because there may well be shortages of many things that we currently take for granted.
We only have one planet and 7.6 billion people is too much for the biosphere.
It may be time to reconsider the use of the 28' class C? V-10?
Every time you turn the key it spews a massive amount of CO2 into the biosphere not to mention a whole lot of other nastiness, and no amount of solar on the roof is going to even begin to offset it. The power going through the Sola and Microair most likely is not coming from hydro or a windfarm either.
Where is Al when he is needed?
